Senior People Partner

About Unison

Unison is a not-for-profit organisation that works to reduce disadvantage and social exclusion. We believe that affordable housing is the foundation on which to build a life of value but that a good life takes more than just housing. A good life takes place in a community. Unison also assists over 3,500 people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness each year across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs, Geelong, Werribee and Gippsland.

The role

Unison has an opportunity for a Senior People Partner to join our People Team with a fresh strategic vision. We’re in full creative design mode, reviewing what it takes to create incredible best-fit programs for our people who are working hard to provide housing for those at risk of homelessness. If you would love the support to grow your creative side to strategic people and culture work, but equally love the adrenaline hit that comes with being a generalist, you’ll be perfect for this role.

Though you will be predominantly based at Unison’s head office in Melbourne, we’re looking for someone who is energised by working closely with all people, on the ground across our various sites. You’ll be working in partnership with our leaders to create a thriving people experience in all of our wellbeing, capability, leadership, recruitment and performance people programs. You’ll also be the go-to person for resolving issues, making sure our policies and procedures are contemporary and fit for purpose and providing advice.

In return, you’ll have access to generous salary packaging, flexible work options, five weeks of annual leave with 17.5% leave loading, 15 days of personal leave, employer paid parental leave and robust wellbeing and capability programs as part of Unison’s commitment to being a leading employer of choice.

$97,000-106,000 per annum, plus super. Full-time, ongoing role.
